About this dashboard
The dashboard is comprised of two main pages: the Community Profile page, and the Data on BSAS Enrollments page.
The Community Profile provides city/town, county, and state level snapshots of substance-related deaths, emergency events, and services, while the BSAS Enrollments page reports on individuals who received services for substance use disorders, broken out by geography, fiscal years, and demographic characteristics.
Both pages can be accessed from the dashboard’s initial Home Screen. After accessing either page, there will be a navigation menu in the upper left of the dashboard allowing for further exploration of the dashboard.
We highly encourage users to review the Dashboard Overview and Enrollments Page Video Tutorial and Community Profile Page Video Tutorial where they can learn more about using the dashboard.
Users are also encouraged to review Data to Action: Leveraging the BSAS Dashboard (& Other Resources) for Community Impact (PDF l (DOCX) for guidance on effectively utilizing data from the dashboard. This guide offers insights on determining key performance indicators (KPIs), interpreting common health statistics, and leveraging data for decision-making
